COMPACT HOLDER.

Application filed December 10, 1925.

This invention relates to improvements in compact holders, that is,metal holders for toiletpowder compacts and has for its object theprovision of a compact holder of the ordinary form and size-which willbe capable of holding three or four separate cakes or compacts of toiletpowder or rouge in a small space. For this purpose, I have devised anovel construction for holding two semi-circular cakes of compact powderon one side of the holder, so that if two such devices be used in onecompact holder, the holder will contain four cakes of compact powder.

Further objects of the invention will be apparent from the specificationand drawings in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of the underslde of myimproved holder.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the partition member showing hinge, etc.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of my improved tray used in this form of holder.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view along the line 4-4 of Fig. 2, the tray beingalso shown.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the partition member before beingapplied to the tray.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of thetray.

7 is a sectional view showing the prongs of the partition memberextended on one side of the tray only.

Fig. 8 is an end view of the partition member showing the various flangemembers and prongs before they are laterally bent.

The tra A with the protuberances B integrally formed therein, has theperforations C on the bottom thereof adapted to receive the partitionmember D. The partition member D has a hinge E and flange memhers F atright angles to the surface of the I. use thereof, and thesefiangemember F rest upon the base of. the tray A. The prongs G at thebase of the partition are adapted to pass through the perforations C ofthe tray and they can then be turned at right angles to the base of saidpartition member, to securely fasten the partition member D to the trayA. The flanges F may be bent to one side of the partition member only,as shown in Fig. 7 or to both sides of the par- Serial No, 74,486.

tition member as shown in Fig. 4. The upper portion of the partitionmember D is of a semi-circular form and is adapted to overlay either oneof the semi-circular cakes of compact held in the tray A. on each sideof the partition member.

The entire compact holder is not illustrated in the drawing, but it isobvious that the tray holding the semi-circular cakes or compacts can besecured in any well known manner. to one of the many forms of compactholders now on the market It is unnecessary to have a cover member forboth cakes of compact which will simultaneously cover both of them, asit is desirable to expose merely one of the cakes at a time and to keepthe other covered when one cake is exposed.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is:

1. In combination, a tray having a plurality of perforations in thebottom thereof, and a partition member comprising a base portion and asecond portion hinged to said base portion, said base portion having aplurality of prongs projecting through said tray and connecting saidbase portion to said tray.

2. In combination, a tray having a plurality of perforations in thebottom thereof, and a partition member comprising a base portion and asecond portion hinged to said base portion, said base portion having aplurality of prongs projecting through said tray and connecting saidbase portion to said tray, said base portion also having flanges locatedabove and adjacent the bot tom of said tray.

3. In combination, a tray having a plurality of perforations in thebottom thereof, and a partition member comprising a base portion-and asecond portion hinged to said base portion, said base portion having aplurality of prongs projecting through said tray and connecting saidbase portion to said tray, said perforations being located substantiallyalong the central line of said tray and said second portion beingadapted to cover substantially half of said tray.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
